I stitched this sampler on 32-count linen using DMC floss #814, 815, 816
I enjoyed seeing other stitchers finished samplers pictured on these blogs:Blackbird Designs; One Stitch At A Time blogBlackbird Designs group Blog

She married my Grandfather, George, on November 24, 1915
P.S.: The 'bird' motif on the sampler (pictured above) is from
